I was wearing lighter fleece yesterday and actually felt the point of entry for my leaking.
I notice a small abrasion on the fabric of the zipper, the rubber coating is wearing off on one side, and it appears coming seperated from the base fabric on the inside. The teeth still fully zip and seal. I had to look hard to see it.
What would be a good substance to put on the rubber to slow it from serperating from the backing fabric? I don't want to just starting rubbing aquaseal on it if there is something better.
It's a very slow minor leak, but I've been getting a tiny bit wet for a while, it took lighter underwear to figure out it wasn't coming down my neck.
It's $428 to replace the zipper. It's custom fit 7mm titanium neoprene suit, back entry with I've got a few hundred dives on it, it's in great shape other than this..., but I'd rather wear it out before I bite the bullet on a fushion bullet or tech....but the zipper replacement could well go to the cost a new suit.
